IMPROVEMENT IN BED-LOUNGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l65,571, datei July 13, 1875; application tiled July o, 1874.

To all whom 'it may concern:

, Be it known that l, THOMAS Q. HALL, of the city of Indianapolis, county of Marion, State of Indiana, have invented an Improvement in Lounges, ot' which the following is a specification v This invention relates to that class of lounges commonly called bed lounges, and will be fully understood from the following general description and the accompanying drawings.

Figure l is a back view of the lounge; Fig. 2, a view of the foot of the lounge when it is opened as a bed; Fig. 3, a view ofthe head of the lounge when it is shut up.

The bottom part and upholstery frame of the lounge are of the ordinary7 kind, and hinged together as usual 5 but the back a b consists of two pieces, a, and b, which part at c. The part a is made fast to the upholstery-frame of the lower part ofthe lounge, while I), as shown.

in the'drawing, is made fast to the folding leaf of the lounge. Upon the head of the lounge is a knob, e, as shown in Fig. 3.

When the lounge is folded up the part b of the back will be as shown in Fig. 1, and knob e as shown in Fig. 3; but when the lounge is opened so as to form a bed', the part b of the back becomes one foot, as shown in Fig. 2, and the knob e becomes the other foot at the head end of the lounge. Thus the part b of the back and the knob c become the feet of the folding leaf ot' the lounge, upon which it rests when it is open. All the various parts of the device are to be as shown in the drawing.

This lounge, otherwise than as above described, is to be used and upholstered as an ordinary bed-lounge.
